Anyone Freeze Perch Eyes?

[Springbuck1]

Little trick: hook the eye with the lure/jig first and then cut around it with pointy filet knife. Way easier. They freeze and thaw fine

Excellent suggestion! That would definitely save the fingers if there is a perch in the box. I still have to figure out how to thread those slippery little suckers that I already have in the freezer.

I thought that's how you were supposed to do it!  Press in firmly on the cheek plate below the eye and massage it a bit.  The eye will pop most of the way out.  Hook it through the silvery tissue, on the under part of the eye, which is the toughest part of the sclera and has their reflective layer, so they are hooked through the toughest part and stay on better and last longer.
